Matt Harrison acknowledged that Lexus has been unable to keep up with growing demand for the new NX due to a shortage of electronic components. The waiting time for the crossover is 12 months. The fact is that the NX turned out to have a lot of unique components, and Toyota could not rearrange the missing parts from more affordable models.
Lexus looks to 2023 with optimism, but top managers have refused to provide sales forecasts. The key task for the coming year is to secure the supply of cars. “This is even more important than our sales numbers,” said Pascal Ruch, head of corporate planning at Lexus Europe.
